A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Gansevoort Condominium would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
321 West 13th Street — The Gansevoort Condominium — is a pre-war loft building turned boutique condominium on the seam between the West Village and the Meatpacking District. Built in 1907 as a commercial loft and converted to residences in the late 1980s, it sits between Hudson Street and Eighth Avenue, a half block from Gansevoort Street and steps from the High Line, Hudson River Park, and the restaurant and gallery density of the far West Side.
For the buyer who wants authentic loft character — high ceilings, exposed brick, wood-burning fireplaces — inside a genuinely intimate building on one of downtown's most dynamic edges, The Gansevoort is a clean proposition. Deeded condominium ownership, converted-loft scale, and a boutique count of just three homes per floor.
Building operations
The condominium runs on a lean boutique model: an elevator, a common roof deck, and a superintendent (off-site / part-time) with video-intercom entry rather than a staffed doorman — cost-efficient and appropriate for a 21-unit building. Central air serves the residences, and heat and hot water are included in common charges. Many units carry wood-burning fireplaces, an increasingly rare amenity downtown.
As a condominium, ownership is by deed rather than shares. Purchases avoid the share-loan structure and interview process of a cooperative; financing is a matter between buyer and lender; and pied-à-terre, investment, and subletting uses are permitted under the bylaws. Pets are allowed. There is a transfer fee (flip tax); its amount and any specific sublet terms should be confirmed against the current bylaws at offer stage.
Architecture and residences
The 1907 building is a pre-war masonry loft in the neo-classical industrial idiom: a rusticated base rising to a buff-colored brick facade, punctuated by a pair of oculus (round) windows at the second floor and arched windows at the sixth, and topped by an unusual, asymmetrical roofline with a prominent circular opening. It is a distinctive, character-rich elevation on its block.
Inside, the residences carry genuine loft scale: ceilings of roughly twelve feet, exposed brick, oak floors, and wood-burning fireplaces in many homes. The plan runs three units to a floor across 21 residences, a mix that skews toward loft-style one- and two-bedroom layouts with the open volumes and unusual proportions that draw buyers to converted industrial buildings. In-unit washer/dryers and central air serve the homes.
The three-per-floor density and seven-story height keep the building intimate — a deliberate contrast to both the neighborhood's walk-ups and the larger new-development buildings nearby.
A note on the setting
The Gansevoort takes its name from nearby Gansevoort Street, and its Meatpacking-edge location invites the assumption that it is a protected landmark. It is not. The building sits in the gap between two designated districts — east of the Gansevoort Market Historic District, whose eastern boundary runs at Hudson Street, and outside the Greenwich Village Historic District and its extensions to the east. That places the building in one of downtown's most storied settings without the exterior-review constraints of a historic district — a distinction worth understanding at the outset.

The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. Facade inspections run on a fixed five-year cycle; future inspection, repair, and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — the licensed engineer the city requires to sign the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2005–10 to 2020–25. The FISP dataset does not record whether they were paid, contested or remain open, so treat the figure as history rather than a current balance and confirm the building’s standing with the managing agent.

Recent sales
Condominium pricing is read on a per-square-foot basis, and 321 West 13th trades as a loft-conversion condo on the West Village / Meatpacking edge — high ceilings, exposed brick, wood-burning fireplaces, and the flexibility premium that deeded ownership commands. With only 21 residences, resale volume is thin: a handful of closings in an active year, skewing toward one- and two-bedroom loft layouts. Pricing is driven by floor, exposure, ceiling height, fireplace, and renovation condition rather than by any neighborhood average. When underwriting a purchase or a list price, capture the specific unit's square footage, light, and finish level rather than leaning on a Meatpacking headline number.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026) cleared a median $1,720/sf (floor-adjusted) across 1 sale. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 1.0% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

What to know if you’re buying
This is a condominium, so the path is straightforward: no board interview, financing set by your lender, and a review of the building's financials, reserve, and bylaws during due diligence. Read the bylaws on pet rules, the transfer fee, and sublet terms, and confirm them at offer stage. As a converted pre-war building, review the reserve and any capital-planning history on the building envelope and systems — a loft conversion carries its own diligence profile.
The reasons to buy are the character and the flexibility: an authentic 1907 loft building with high ceilings, exposed brick, and wood-burning fireplaces, deeded ownership with pied-à-terre and investment latitude, and a boutique scale on one of downtown's most dynamic edges.
What to know if you’re selling
The story is loft character on the Meatpacking edge. A 1907 conversion with twelve-foot ceilings, exposed brick, and a wood-burning fireplace, in a three-per-floor building steps from the High Line, is a specific, marketable proposition that sells to buyers who want authentic downtown loft space. Pricing is an apartment-specific exercise: square footage, floor, ceiling height, fireplace, and condition drive the number. We position the loft narrative, benchmark against the right tier of West Village and Meatpacking loft condominiums, and market to the downtown buyer who values character over new-construction polish.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
